Abstract
 
The talk will discuss the perspectives of international trade in natural
gas. In 
particular, the changing conditions under which this trade takes place‹such
as increasing global competition for natural gas, a changing role of
long-term contracts and the danger of a cartel.
 
The talk will also highlight potential scenarios for the development of
natural gas trade to 2030, based on joint research with the World Gas Model.
 
The talk also reports on the major findings of the study ³Globalization of
Natural Gas Markets², carried out jointly by DIW Berlin and the Dresden
University of Technology.
